Ooohooo! You guys have NO idea how much help you have been. I have been agonizing over this issue since I started. I'm not stupid enough to go full bore into a snow storm but I do want to try to be a good expediter. It helps SO much to hear that even you experienced "transportation emergency...

That's what I wanted to hear! Thanks for help! Feel better now.

Will you marry me?

Hi everyone! I made the plunge. Leased on with On-Dekk Transportation and LOVE the job. On-Dekk is a great company to work for. Everyone is helpful, honest, and you don't have to keep looking for a knife in the back. I guess I lucked out first time. My question is the times between pickups and...

I always wondered why that was. It seems every ethinic faction can be proud of their heritage except WASPs. (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants). It is as though we have something to be ashamed of. I SAY BALONEY to that. If all races are going to be equal, then let Whites have a United White College...

SO FUNNY! Do you know how to put a Jew in a real dilema? Offer him FREE ham!

Thanks for info. I wondered why dispatch always gave me the zip code when giving me the address. Hey, my light bulb is getting brighter every day. Jumbuck

I was wondering how when you get a run from point A to point B is there a formula the company uses to figure mileage. I have discovered that what they pay and the miles actually ran don't seem to be the same. Help: Anyone? Anyone? Thanks:confused:

Hi: Could someone please tell me what kind of oil and how much a dodge sprinter 2500 diesel will take? Also, do the quickie oil change places change oil in them? Any help will be appreciated. Jumbuck:confused:

After 'ya get your FIRST paycheck!;)

I have NEVER in my life seen more dangerous drivers than Tour Bus Drivers and Grey-Hound drivers. They STAY in the Left lane always and do almost 80 MPH. It doesn't matter to them if its dry pavement or solid ice. I sometimes wonder if it's because they are superior drivers or just STUPID! I...

Hi: I live in Flint, Mi and I am reading the "Flint Journal" about the deadly crash. The driver was from Dryden, Mi. and he was a "model employee." He was driving on Interstate 90 when he collided with a tour bus that was merging onto the highway. More than 30 aboard the bus that was going from...

Thanks for the information. As I said, I'm NEW here.

I was very curious as to how an expediting company finds their loads for there drivers. I know they have load boards but I was wondering how do they get access to these boards and why can't anyone look at these boards? How do these load boards work and how do they know how much to bid? Any...

Could someone explain to me how expediting dispatch boards work. I hear "first in first out, etc" but I don't know what all that means. If someone could explain to me as if I were a 2 year old, I sure would appreciate the help. Jumbuck:confused:

Could someone please answer this question for me? If I have a sprint van hired on at one company am I running under their authority? And if I am, can I still work for the first company but call any other expediter companies and run for them too, or how does that work? If I am sitting somewhere...

Thank you Sir: You just gave me a new insight as to how the expediting business works. Doesn't mean I'm quitting, though.... (Yet):D

So...would you say that just because a company advertises for owner/operators doesn't necessarily mean they have a surplus of work? And...if that's IS the case would you say that Newbies like me should take a lesson from that?:eek:

Something ocurred to me today...Why is it that so many expediting companies ALWAYS seem to be hiring? From my measly experience, it seems because it advantageous to THEM to have a whole fleetload of trucks at their disposal so it doesn't matter if they leave a bunch of trucks sitting all over...

Hello everyone! I was wondering which software to use for keeping up with business expenses, income, outgo, and so on? I plan to use my laptop, but don't know which program to use for business. Any help will be greatly appreciated.:)
